Quote #7
Illustration: Peter in the pink bathtub. (30-31)
Bubbles, a rubber ducky, and a boat. Why do we give these things up when we get older? That bath looks super-cozy!
Quote #8
Before he got into bed he looked in his pocket. His pocket was empty. The snowball wasn't there. He felt very sad. (32)
Just as simple things can make young children very happy, a simple thing like a snowball melting can make them very sad, too. Youth is a time of simplicity, but it's also a time of intense emotions.
Quote #9
Illustration: Peter admiring the new snow through his window. (34)
Everyone should get this happy about snow, but sometimes people's ability to find joy in small things fades along with their youth. Thankfully, Peter's still smack dab in the middle of his and the snow has him pretty psyched.
